T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

Not only him but it is another bad start from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, they both did not perform as well as they should from the start of this World Cup.

This opening pair, i think this pair is not good, the players are good but the pair is not good. By the way, this is not a problem with only them. It is the problem of all the teams that are playing World Cup except Australia. However, in today’s match, we have seen the India full top order has been clearly failed to make a good score, Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma did not played with the same form as they played in the IPL.

For the Indian selectors, time has come to make some important decisions. Let oldies like Rohit and Virat focus on test cricket. Anyway these players prioritize IPL above playing for the national team. So let them focus on IPL and test cricket and it will be beneficial for the other players as well. T20I squad can be led by younger players such as Rishabh Pant or Hardik Pandya. Even Suryakumar Yadav can be a good option, given his recent form and leadership skills.

Bangladesh and Australia took to the field today in their first match of the quarter final where Australia secured a big win against Bangladesh.

Australia won the toss first and after winning the toss they elected to field first. Bangladesh's first wicket fell very early as Liton Das and Nazmul Shanto managed a good partnership but they could not build on that partnership. When the top-order batsman got out, Bangladesh suffered a lot of batting disaster and Bangladesh managed to score 140 runs in the end. Australia's two openers got off to a good start with a target of 141 runs.
Australia lost two wickets when the rain started again, but when rain started in the second over, the umpire declared Australia the winner of the match by DLS method. With 8 wickets in hand, Australia secured a big win by 28 runs in the DLS method.

Let's be real. Both India vs Afghanistan and Australia vs Bangladesh results were very predictable. Almost everyone expected India and Australia to thrash Afghanistan and Bangladesh respectively which is exactly what happened.

These two heavyweights aren't inconsistent like Pakistan and will probably fight each other in the finale. Also, England vs South Africa coming up soon.

India looked strong, good to see. However I would like Rinku instead of Dube, if there could be place for Jaiswal too, that'd be nice, there are 6 bowling options, one could sit to make place for him, preferably Axar.

Kudos to Bapu in the end,and I think he should come before Jaddu if they both are in the Playing XI.

Who do you mean by Bapu?

That was a luckiest moment that Bangladesh qualified for the Super 8 round and now they are playing with Australia means the strongest team in cricket world.
Well Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first and Bangladesh is playing their turn now and they are looking little weak in batting. Because they have already lost a wicket and they made only 17 runs in 4 overs. And the current run rate is 4.25 which is very low according to T20I matches. If they will play like this so chances of winning of Bangladesh are looking very low because Australia is a very strong team. By the way cricket is unpredictable so we can't say anything at this time.

Bangladesh tried really to qualify for the super 8 round and now they are in and playing the first match of this round with Australia which you said a strongest team. And I also think they are very strong in cricket. Like we know that they already won ICC ODI World Cup.
And according to the current situation of the match Bangladesh has lost 3 wickets. And they have played half overs means 10 overs and they made only 67 runs. If they will play 20 overs so they can cross 150 runs. And in my point of view this will be a average target for Australian team and they can easily chase. And you are right we can't say anything at this time. So let's see who will win.

You are Right, Bangladesh Poor batting performance in the first match Of Super Eight and Australia won the match by DLD method by 28 runs. In batting first Bangladesh good start after losing early wickets then the second wickets partnership is more than 50 runs helped Bangladesh to score 140 runs in the first inning of the match. The Player of the match is Pat Cummins from Australia for his outstanding bowling performance picked 3 important wickets by just giving only 29 runs and helped Australia to restrict the Bangladesh team to a score of under 150 runs. from Bangladesh Towhid Hridoy played an Aggressive inning of 40 runs hitting powerful sixes but no other players stood with him Shakib also didn't play well.

Bangladesh team lag behind only because of their poor batting. The pitch was completely batting friendly. So Bangladesh should have collected more than 180. Then the match would have become competitive. A collection of 140 runs on this pitch can be said to be a very small collection. Openers Tanzid and Liton got off to a poor start. Tanzid failed to score any runs. Liton on the other hand batted like a fool. Liton collected only 16 runs from 25 balls. It was beyond my imagination that an opener would bat so slow on such a batting friendly pitch.

Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa and Starc all bowled very well. And this is why Bangladeshi batsmen cannot do well. Bangladesh has given a small target. So the Australian team won quite easily. Australia's batsmen were also in very good form.

[Smack That Ace]

I am looking forward to watching the England vs South Africa match. This match is very important for both. Because both teams are trying hard to qualify for the next round.

England team managed to defeat the giant West Indies team in the first match. England's bowlers bowled very well in this match. This is the reason why West Indies cannot give a very big target. Along with the bowlers, England's batsmen also batted very responsibly. England team reached the goal of victory easily.

On the other hand, South Africa team is very lucky in this World Cup. South Africa won most of the matches only because of experience and good luck. I wouldn't say this team is in very good form. England team seems more likely to win.

Australia won the Super Eight match between Bangladesh and Australia on DLS method. I noticed in this match that Bangladesh's batting and bowling performance was not very good. The performance of Bangladeshi batsmen and bowling is not consistent. Due to which they are forced to lose to the opposition. Always Bangladesh's opening batsmen failed. Once Liton Das used to play badly as a batsman, now Tanjim Hasan Tamim is playing badly.
Against Australia, we relied heavily on Bangladesh's two veteran batsmen, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad. These two completely let us down as they did not live up to their reputation. These two batsmen were sent back to the dressing room by one of Australia's best bowlers and ODI captain Pat Cummins. He was Man of the Match in that match due to his impeccable bowling performance.

~ England team seems more likely to win.

South Africa's performance in this year's World Cup may be somewhat erratic. But even then this team managed to continue the winning streak. I don't think England will win this match. I have checked all the statistics of the match between these two teams. So I can't say that the England team is more likely to win. Below are the statistics.

ENG vs SA HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD IN T20Is

• Matches played: 25
  
• England won: 12
  
• South Africa won: 12
  
• Tied: 0
• No Result: 1
  

The South Africa team is ahead in the statistics of the matches between these two teams in the World Cup.
ENG vs SA HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD IN T20 WORLD CUP

• Matches played: 6
• England won: 2
  
• South Africa won: 4
  

Result: South Africa beat England by 10 runs (Sharjah; 2021)
source: Sportstar

After looking at these statistics, I can't say England team is favorite in this match. Both teams have equal chances of winning the match. I think South Africa will win today.

Agreeing with your opinion that currently Bangladesh don't have any good openners or middle order batsmen and the thing I noticed in Bangladesh team their young player who new in squad failing in every time. I was thought this pitch will be bowling friendly but it's not Australia was playing amazingly anyway the result of this match was expected that Australia will win this.

BAN Vs AUS

Bangladesh qualified for the Super Eight with a very competitive win over Nepal and their first match is against Australia today. With the performance of Bangladesh's top order batsmen, especially Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Liton Das, it remains to be seen how much they can score against Australia today. Cricket against Australia is a different feeling and a different competition. Only time will tell if it is at all possible for Bangladesh to win the match by scoring low against Australia. However, the failure of the top order batsmen cost Bangladesh dearly.

Just like our expectations Australian side easily defeat Bangladesh in his first super 8 match, to be honest Bangladesh team should work on his team and make a major surgery like paksitan are about to be done to reduce thier high class player salaries and kickout all over age and wort performer players like Imad, Shadab, iftikhar, Usman etc it isn't official but according to some source it will about to happened in near future so they should do same and should took some new young talent who can took that responsibility for long time. Anyway I am really impressed from Australian team because they really back every one and try filled his out of form player gap and that things make them more professional and more like team. Hope Bangladesh has two more matches left so they will heal thier damage if they played sensibly

Bangladesh has a rapidly ageing squad. Look at the members who played yesterday against Australia. Shakib Al Hasan is 37 year old. Mahmudullah has gone past 38. And these are among the key players in their XI. Once these players retire, Bangladesh will really struggle to replace them. And the younger players are not being consistent. The babies in the squad are 23-year old Tanzid Hasan and 21-year old Tanzim Hasan Sakib. Both are being inconsistent.

[JSRAW]

For the Indian selectors, time has come to make some important decisions. Let oldies like Rohit and Virat focus on test cricket. Anyway these players prioritize IPL above playing for the national team. So let them focus on IPL and test cricket and it will be beneficial for the other players as well. T20I squad can be led by younger players such as Rishabh Pant or Hardik Pandya. Even Suryakumar Yadav can be a good option, given his recent form and leadership skills.

You can add Jadeja as well and if not wrong then i guess these folks are eyeing Champions Trophy (ODI) too. Ideally, after CT three of them (Rohit-Kohli-Jadeja) should focus on the test for the glory and IPL for monetary benefits.

Kudos to Bapu in the end,and I think he should come before Jaddu if they both are in the Playing XI.

Who do you mean by Bapu?
 

Axar Patel, Dhoni gave him this nickname because for him Akshar (original name) or Patel wasn't catchy enough and he thought it was okay to call everyone Bapu if they hail from Gujrat (MK Gandhi ref).

PS: His original name is Akshar Patel but his school principal made a mistake and documented him as Axar, instead of Akshar.

With the retirement of Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad, they will certainly have new players in their squad but according to them, they cannot find a responsible batsman. Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Nazmul Hasan Shanto, their performance is not going well at all. So the Bangladesh team cannot be dependent on them and have confidence. I thought maybe Liton Das would be a good performer but after seeing his performance in several matches it is not possible to trust him at all. Rather, if there is no good opener, the Bangladesh team will never be able to do well with a good team.

Australia won by 28 runs (DLS Method) against Bangladesh which is kind of common thing as expected cause Australia is one of the strongest team even where Bangladesh performance getting down day by day. Australia won the toss and opt to fielding. Bangladesh went to bat and again same performance get repeated. Towhid Hridoy(40) only made good runs as he is on his forum. Rest of players did same as they did in previous Matches. Just shanto(41) did well and Mahmudullah(2) failed to collected runs. That's all. Pat Cummins took 3 wickets and Australia batting was satisfactory. David Warner(53) made his half century, travis head (31) did good runs. Match was stopped for a while for rain but due to fastest Strike Rate, Australia won the match easily

[Haunebu]

England vs South Africa underway. The South Africans are playing like sloths at the moment and aren't taking full advantage of the powerplay which isn't good for them considering how good England are batting these days.

Also, I have no idea why Topley and Ali were given the new ball since I would have chosen Archer and Wood instead. Weird decisions!

These two heavyweights aren't inconsistent like Pakistan and will probably fight each other in the finale. Also, England vs South Africa coming up soon.

Even though Afghanistan lost the match but I will not underestimate them in any way. From the last one year since 2023, their team it’s on peak and still I am saying there are chances for them to go into the playoffs.

At this time, the team of Afghanistan has a mission which is to give a disappointment to big teams, even in the match with India after taking the wicket of Suray Kumar Yadav because after him, just Hardik Pandya was left who may come under pressure while if he will out then the situation will be under the Afghanistan's control and Shivam Dube was new so he came under pressure for sure which means the half game can be come under Afghanistan team, however, things did not turn as planned by the Afghanistan team.

If we look at both playing XI then it's a competition of 2 batting powerhouses and you'll find destructive batters in both teams.

When you put such teams on flat decks then it rarely matters who is bowling and only choking in the batting department and the bowler limiting the damage will decide an outcome.

Moeen Ali bowled pretty tight so it's success though but SA lost back to back wickets after solid start now two new batters has to take some time to settle in that's going to be the decisive move cause there's no room to settle in, it has to go from the ball one.

Talking about choking, can SA make any difference in this ICC event and remove their tag of chokers that's hanging with them for more than 3 decades.

Australia is very good at playing cricket. So today they beat Bangladesh, I agree with you that the performance of Bangladesh is going down day by day. India has a match against Bangladesh tomorrow and probably Bangladesh will lose there because India is also a very good team and they play very well all the time.

Currently playing live is England vs South Africa. Despite South Africa being a very good team, they did not score many runs in today's match against England  So it looks like England are bowling quite well today. South Africa scored 142 runs in 18 overs but they held the wicket. I hope England can bat well. It will be a tight game between them today
